PICK A REASON THE STORY DEMANDS

i am playing
catch up
after my bodys decisions

we all are

free will
is the justifying of it
we pick a reason
i pick a reason
that the story demands

i try to watch
to second guess
my limbic subconscious

but it leaves me
sitting
sitting
on a garden chair

wind evacuating any residual self
finger digging around up my nose

TO PARAPHRASE REAGAN

in a world

i find
impossible

to second guess

i find
its reassuring
to be 

always 

12 months older
when 

another year 

has gone by

~

all thats sure in life
is income enhancement
negative patient outcome
& youth expansion

to paraphrase reagan

YOU KNEW WHAT YOU WERE ABOUT

his beautiful diadem
was brass not gold

in his cousins eyes

his time-lock steel safe
was a biscuit tin

in his cousins eyes

& i tell you
never second guess
the play you threw
unfinished
into the fireplace

you knew what you were about
